In the recent years, I have developed an interest in connecting art and architecture in order to provide a conceptual space to examine socio-cultural issues. Meanwhile, my interests in my Iranian heritage has increased immensely. In the Summer of 2009, the Vehbi Koç Foundation invited me to Istanbul to conduct a research on nomadic Persian carpets in relation to architecture. With the research results I began producing installations of architectural scale models, using the patterns as a blueprint.

Multi-disciplinary artist whose practice, at its fundamental roots, takes aim to deconstruct, recontextualize and rearrange our perceptions of the world around us. Like Zen koans, Golkars work seems to arrive at new understandings by setting up impossible questions. At its core is a spirit of unbridled philosophical investigation; one that exhibits a Duchampian twist on the visual pun mixed with a Gestalt sense of multistability and reification. Golkars work understands both the destructive and regenerative aspects of perspective and shifting visions; and fundamentally contests the fixity of subject and object and space.
